good for professional risk managers too

An extensive primer that gives a thorough understanding of Conditional Volatility models. Also great in letting the reader understand influence of asymmetry and correlations concepts on risk modelling. It is useful even if Excel or VBA is not your choice modelling application (whcih in most cases is not). More content in future editions on controlling the volatility of different forcast techniques would be a beneficial addition.

Useful and down-to-earth guide

This book describes useful approaches to anyone interested in credit risk modeling, in particular the first chapter devoted to logit models, the best way to measure probability of default of SMS firms with litte or no data on market value of debt.

very good guide to credit risk modeling

Finally a book came out that concerns the "normal" credit risk modeling as opposed to just credit risk pricing of derivatives and structured products. This book is excellent. I give it 4 stars because of the choice of the software, i.e. Excel. Almost everyone who is doing this kind of analysis is not doing it in Excel (from experience) but rather S-PLUS, R or SAS. But ok, not that big of a problem.
I would say that this is a good guide to credit risk modeling, but the reader should fill quite a lot for him/herself, but this will come from practice. Overall, the authors present the problems and solutions in a intuitive way and quite narrative, which makes it an easy read. They also explain the Excel and VBA code rather than just presenting it, which enables the reader to reproduce it easier.
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone in credit risk management and especially to universities and students as often they come unprepared to the real world of credit risk modeling.
